Storm at the Hacienda

Storm at the HaciendaDaytime exposure near San Simeon, Calif. Multiplied image, applied nighttime filtering, created rain and lightning stroke, replaced sky, dodged and burned, and other selective changes using PSE9.

P.S. Come to my gallery and see pages 5,6,7 if you really liked my B&W Finalist. There are more there I think you can appreciate, too!

Thank you Laura. Had already commented on you finalist and you're right about pages 5,6,7. Besides all your talented creativity, your traditional work is out standing as well. Must admit I was a bit surprised and at the same time, a bit ashamed that I hadn't explored your gallery extensively before. As they say now-a-days, "my bad" :o)

My bad, too, Dale. It wasn't until last night that I took the time and went over your gallery, too. Do you know what I liked the most? Your diversity. You are extremely creative and excel at it. As with me, your traditional work is very well done, too!!! You have the cat by the tail. This photography thing is surely your niche and I hope you always stick with it. It's the perfect hobby.

¢Û¢Ü♫¢Ý¢Û¢Ü♫¢Ý¢Û¢Ü♫¢Ý I'd also love to hear that you got into a Barber Shop in your area, too...and not for a haircut! :))) ¢Û¢Ü♫¢Ý¢Û¢Ü♫¢Ý¢Û¢Ü♫¢Ý

Thanks for all that you said. -Laura :)

Thanks Laura. Afraid the singing is over. After all those years performing with the great "Winning Combination" quartet, anything less doesn't peak my interest any more. However, I'll sing a tag or two with any quartet that invites me, just for old times sake. :o)

Very cool creation Dale. The lighting due to the daytime exposure really gives it an erie feeling. :~) Congrats on your finalist! :~)

Thank you Aimee. LOL I have to do stuff like this often because the images as they were aren't so good. :o)
